Group Road Trip to Arcadia, Florida

Today, seven members of our group took a road trip to visit the antique shops and have lunch in the central historical area of Arcadia, Florida. Arcadia is located about midway between Sarasota County on our West Coast and Palm Beach County on our East Coast. The weather couldn't have been better.

On visiting our first antique/consignment shop, the owner liked the necklace Debbie was wearing so much that she asked her to leave it with her on consignment as the owner has a customer who loves larger jewelry. She also asked Debbie to bring in additional pieces and possibly leave them on consignment as well.

We had lunch at Mary Margaret's Tea Room on Polk Street (the lunch bunch). While the menu is limited, everyone thought the food was delicious, and the desserts were well worth the extra calories (Lake with Tea Room Server in top hat and tails). Then we spent several more hours scouring the antique/consignment stores on Oak Street. Finally, it was time to head home with our treasures after a long and exciting day.

Florida West Coast Bead Society - Presentation by Judy Levine

On March 1st, Judy Levine (above left) did a wonderful presentation on the history of beads along with an awesome Power Point visual (above right - Judy Levine with Jack Winberg Giving Presentation) Program at the March meeting of the Florida West Coast Bead Society. She also brought a small selection of her gorgeous necklaces, most done with beads from Asia and Africa she has collected in her world travels over many years. At this same meeting, we also had an opportunity to help a young woman in Africa     Jby purchasing from a lovely selection of hand-made African beads.

Wordless Wednesday - Sorta

Last night, I had a dream...

A row of pretty, colorful Caterpillars walking in a line across the ceiling

Meaning? To see a caterpillar in your dream, signifies a stage in your own personal growth and development where you are on the path but have not yet reached your goal.
